WASHINGTON.

In barber shop at Washington,
Cuthbert b. Jones, of Louisiana, attempted
by insulting language toward Congressman ].
Floyd King to provoke fight but the latter
silently bore the aggravating treatment The
trouble had its origin in bloody feud which
commenced before the birth OF Mr. Jones.
Congressman Floyd King, of Louisi-
ana, publishes card in the Washington
papers regarding the insult offered to him by
Cuthbert Jones in the barber's shop of Will
lard's Hotel: King says:
While was being shaved Cuthbert b, Jones,
accompanied by man whom took to be his
brother, came into Stewards shop and soon be-
gan conversation with each other in a loud tone
OF voice about my defeat for a denomination to

had been shaved and arose from my position

ments the most offensive and brutal language.

ten feet from me. am law-abiding man, but
the law imposes no restraint in protecting
myself. Jones' hostility to me is
due solely to my opposition to
his appointment to consular posi-
ton. That opposition was because was in
formed by most reputable and distinguished
men acquainted with the facts that he was fu-
gitive from justice on account OF the assassina-
ton Of Gen. Liddell OF my district by Jones
father. his elder brother, and himself, the two
former being lynched for their crime, and the
latter flying Tor his life. He has never yet ven
tured to return. Not long ago he had his life in
sured, and by the payment of extra
premium had the ex emption about suicide and
death by violence stricken out telling the
agent with great frankness that he expected to
die with his boots on. He always goes armed,
and has repeatedly tried TO provoke King into
assaulting him. He has challenged him to a
duel several times, but the Congressman will
take notice OF him. 1t is believed by the
friends Of Jones that Kings card will result in
elimination OF the long feud by the death Of
one or the other OF them.

IT is probable that few persons are
aware of the great and important en-
cheering undertaking in which Russia
has for years been engaged, of drain
ing the vast Pinsk marshes. These
are so immense, in fact, as to secure
special designation on the ordinary
map of Europe, being, it is remarked,
the only case of the kind, their extent
of area being, in fact, very much larg-
er than that of Ireland. Some fifteen
years ago the Russian Government first
took in hand seriously the reclamation
of this waste expsnse, which, owing to
being perpetually more or less sub
merged, and covered with O Jungle
growth of forest, cut off most important
geographical communications. Up to
the present time about 1000, 900 acres
have been reclaimed, through the con-
struction of several thousand miles of
bitches and of canals so broad as to be
navigable for barges of several hundred
tons burden, and for the current year
the engineers programme comprises
the drainage of $500 acres by means
of the construction OF 100 miles of
bitches and canals. In addition to all
the canals and bitches dug there have
been 179 bridges built, and OF the
wells bored 1872 we're from forty to
eighty feet deep, and 425 of from twen-
ty TO forty feet.

"Tell me, o Aristarchus, tell me by

you in exchanges this day that you
briskly apply your never-to- be-satiated

"Of truth, o Mnestheus, the times
go hard, for neither on the all-thunder-
ing editorial pages, nor in the columns
OF the argus-eyed local reporters, nor
yet even in the from-everywhere-se-
lected miscellany, can / find matter
worthy to be culled for our all-pervad-
ing sheet. And, by the gods immortal
1 do esteem it to be cruel fortune that
at this time, when news is scarce and
advertising slow, il is required of me
to bring to the altar of the remorseless
printers fresh and plenteous hecatombs
OF reprint!".
